This week I've finally started up a new homelab server at my new place! Used my old, more proper computer, and tried a different OS! A few of the links in this post will be for the homelabbers out there, because I truly think well-written guides are rarer than people are willing to admit!
Guides
- TrueNAS Scale Reverse Proxy with Nginx and DuckDNS
- A guide on setting up Nginx Proxy Manager on TrueNAS using the app from TrueNAS Apps fully locally and without exporting any ports. I struggled using other OS-agnostic guides because what I didn't realize was that NPM needs to 1) run as root user and 2) use the default HTTP (80)and HTTPS (443) so you have to actually change the ports that your TrueNAS installation uses for the WebUI
- Servers @ Home Wiki
- A fantastic wiki and associated discord and youtube with a wealth of information on setting up media stacks using docker in TrueNAS, even has a handy little install script that will do most of the standing up for you! Similar to YAMS but specifically running on TrueNAS and not needing it's own VM
Videos
- 7 Concerning Levels of Acoustic Spying Techniques - Benn Jordan
- Benn is one of the most interesting people in the Youtube audio space. He's a musician but, as made clear in this video he could as easily have been an engineer or software developer. His videos are always so interesting even if the topic is completely non-applicable to my life
- your humor is inherently political - oliSUNvia
- Olivia is a really smart 'video essayist' and student of philosophy. Her videos are always extremely insightful and attach a lot of interesting philosophical concepts to social media or real-world phenomena. Her channel is in my opinion one of the best gateways to leave the 'pop politics' youtube space and should be getting way more attention than the 'We must talk about the X situation' slop channels masquerading as political commentary. This video released at a great time for me, because I've been having a lot of thoughts about the resurgence of the 'stop making everything political' crowd around the internet. Definitely worth a watch.
